This is my night Photo project experiment.I feel that something could be done...
I'm not sure if this is the best ....I'll ask for advice,Any suggestions. Comments gladly welcome.

I think this could be a sweet photo with a bit more expertise.HELP :O)
Would a longer shutter speed have helped.? I was trying for the street reflection/mood.
Experimental test shot 1/8 second @ f 2.8
I did modify this to try,improve the file.
Thankyou in advance.

This is a good start. I like the mood. But I think it is really two photos...left and right...each detracting from the other. I would like to see a separate (portrait orientation) photo from the center to the left edge as a separate picture....then maybe crop the right side remaining photograph to pretty much just the area with the street lamps. If you are new at this, I think this is a great beginning. I assume you used a tripod?

I feel youv'e lost too much of the image to contrast adjustment. That and if you used a posterization type adjustment its too much.The larger (full size) version show off more of the possibilities and difficulties as well. The other minor concern right now is why you chose this particular coloration ?

More than just two images there's several possible framings for the contents of this photograph. This could be a good chiaruscuro with pools of light and dark, but the balance is off.

This is one that if you were willing to post in the forums, I believe you might get several very concrete suggestion, if some were even contradictory.
Best wishes and looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the input.
Well,The unedited version is almost completly black...so I guess the exposure is somewhat flawed. l will work on this next rainy night, experiment with exposure settings.
Thankyou for offering advice/ help.
